VMware vCenter Server 6.5 / 6.7 / 7.0 SSRF (VMSA-2022-0018)

high Nessus Plugin ID 163100

Language:

Synopsis

A virtualization management application installed on the remote host is affected by a server-side request forgery vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 6.5 prior to 6.5 U3t, 6.7 prior to 6.7 U3r, or 7.0 prior to 7.0 U3f. It is, therefore, affected by a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. A remote attacker with network access to port 433 can exploit this send a URL request outside of vCenter Server or to an internal service.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Nessus has also not tested for the presence of a workaround.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server 6.5 U3t, 6.7 U3r, or 7.0 U3f or later.
